we are watching daybreak australia. the bank of korea expected to raise their interest rates for the first time in more than six years. what does that mean for other central banks in the region? andportfolio manager kapstream capital from sydney, is a bloomberg economics editor kathleen hays joining in on the conversation. raymond come on its own, you would think the bull markets are looking so focused on the bank of korea. be raising interest rates for the first time in six years. do you think it's time they do this? >> i think so if you look at the macroeconomic developments in korea. they research the corporate sector and struggling a couple of years ago. the one has rallied in quite a bit in recent weeks as well.

it makes sense from a fundamental perspective. bank of korea is not alone on many central banks looking to hike rates. it is debatable in australia and looking at other countries and ecb. they look to be on their tightening path, look at the bank of england. raymond summarizing it for the fed means that the fed may be under pressure to continue this tightening path. how certain are you they are going to continue this path? bei think it's going to dependent as well. i believe korea's inflation is ok, it's not as high as i wanted to be. whether it's the bank of england, the canadian bank, and the fed, they have all been theng come i would say

fundamentals are still not where the central bank is wanting it to be. they're making some improvements into policy. >> how big of a deal are rate for the this point emerging markets and developed markets in asia? i think in the background that's a bit of a concern, no matter , itmuch it to be priced in should be in the past. not just one rate hike and we stop and think about it. it has moved the currency and has moved the bonds. >> the last time we saw that , i feelcommunications like right now there has been a hike in december, they will likely hike another two or three times next year. as long as it's well communicated and then gradually,

the markets will be significant in the short term. but you will see some kind of the virgins and parlous -- divergence and policy. you will see some of that going forward definitely. >> whatever happened to the phillips curve? we have inflation in the u.s. and elsewhere. inflation is still very weak. possible that is not correct? we are seeing a lot of inflation and asset processes. >> it's really going to be given by wages inflation. we haven't seen that. and i think part of that is a structural reason. we have advancement in technology, globalization has pushed a lot into the emerging markets. the structural trends affecting inflation in terms of how to

quantify as the more difficult question. you see inflation moving in the right direction, but it's very incremental and gradual. >> of course brexit heating up again, the irish eu commissioner has threatened to veto any deep -- veto any deal between northern ireland and the rest of that country. building ons theresa may. it looks like angela merkel is consolidating power and that is creating doubts. we are waiting for inflation data. do you think the ecb is going to leg the fed by a lot more than people may be expecting? ecb i thinkof the the difference between the short end of the balance sheet, they made it clear they are not going to move the short and until the balance sheet until the last ecb meeting.

another nine and 10 months before they increase the short end. , certainlylation political risk as well, with the french elections in the election went all the right way. germany,ke brexit and if they go the other way that could have implications for the market in terms of the confidence. >> what about applications with tax reform? what about the bond market pricing in right now? >> that's a difficult one and one of the reasons we haven't had a lot of exposure is the political reform and things coming up is very hard to judge. i would say the tax reform would be great for the economy. the tax would decrease a you see a lot of money flow back into

the system. -- this isto reduce going to produce 1.5 for the deficit. we will see how it plays out. drums going to reach out to the gop members and see if you can get that through. >> the sorts of issues that the fed is dealing with in terms of decent employment and we can inflation, we have them here in australia too. we see goldman sachs push out its top -- push out its timetable. where do you see the hit or miss cfl is there a case for typing -- for tightening? they're going to remain basically flat. if you look at the continuing factor, one thing they are going to look at inflation, that has been the weaker side. but if you look at the statement of monetary policy, what they have hinted is there talking about potentially hiking is the

next move. i think the markets address household debt and leverage in the sector. and i'll think they're going to move for another couple of quarters. -- i don't think they're going to move for another couple of quarters. >> thanks to kathleen hays for joining us as well. still plenty more to come on australia. you can find in-depth analysis and today's big newsmakers on bloomberg radio. at 7into daybreak asia a.m. from hong kong. or on bloomberg radio.com.
